solomon maintained that Parsons is
held under two writs, one from the lower
court snd one from the Supreme court.
He did not claim Parsons should be liber-

is ordered, until a correct and proper
writ is issued. One OF Solomon's main
points was that the Illinois Supreme
court should have returned the case to
the lower court where the sentence should
have again been pronounced. The neglect
to do this, he argued, was fatal error.
The writ was refused by Judge Tuley.

She h.d been waiting outside for an hour
and half. Her sobs could be heard
through the corridors of the building.
She did not stay long with her son snd on
her exit from the Jail Mrs. Fischer was i'd
mitted. Tier lamentations was heard
above the tramp Of the deputies who

"In case Governor OslesoY should de

that might arise he would telegraph
to the President and instructions would
